[Bug 44764] Re: Conflicting Keyboard Shortcuts with Inkscape

Confirmed as still a problem with upstream.

In testing it, I notice that Alt-Ctrl-Click generally provides the same
functionality as Alt-Click, but doesn't interfere with KDE's shortcuts.
There are a couple exceptions such as when selecting within groups, but
the difference in behavior is probably negligible for most people.

Thus, since these two shortcuts seem to be identical for the most part,
you could simply alter the documentation to refer to Alt-Ctrl-Click in
preference over Alt-Click.  Attached is a patch to doc/keys.xml which
does this.  To (manually) generate the SVG file, simply do:

  xsltproc keys-svg.xsl keys.xml > keys.svg

I've also proposed to the other inkscape developers that we switch to
this approach in general.  However I don't know if this change will be
accepted for the upcoming 0.45 release.
